USS POGY (SSN-647)
The second Pogy was laid down 5 May 1964 by the New York Shipbuilding Corp. Camden N.J.; launched 3 June 1967 and sponsored by Mrs. George Wales.
The contract for the construction of Pogy was canceled 5 June 1967 and the submarine was towed
to Philadelphia for temporary berthing. On 7 December 1967, the contract for construction of Pogy was reassigned
to Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation of Pascagoula, Mississippi, and the incomplete submarine was towed to
that shipyard on 8 January 1968 for completion. Seven days underway, from Philadelphia to
Pascagoula ,the tow line broke and Pogy was adrift. Pogy was commissioned on 15 May 1971.
